Courage To Be: Exploring Confidence. What happens when we stop trying to get it right? This participatory session invites you to explore confidence from the inside out.

Through a series of simple, playful games, we'll experiment with being present, embracing uncertainty and connecting with others without the pressure to perform.

Expect plenty of smiles, gentle challenges and practical insights to take into networking, pitching, presentations and everyday life.Come as you are. Leave a little braver.

About our Facilitator

Mairi-Claire Traynor is an Edinburgh-based artist and facilitator. She believes that curiosity is more valuable than certainty and that lifelong learning begins with a willingness not to know.Drawing inspiration from clown, her work explores how play and spontaneity can help us shed perfectionism and make more authentic connections with ourselves and others.

How are we making sure this event is accessible?
